A total of 72 weanling pigs (average initial wt of 7 lb and 10 d of age) was used in a 38-d growth assay to determine the nutritional value of alcohol- and water-extracted soy protein concentrates. Pigs were sorted by sex, ...

Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of initial bacterial
concentrations in animal plasma on growth
performance of weanling pigs. In Exp. 1
during the experimental period (d 0 to 14),
pigs fed plasma ...

Two studies were conducted to evaluate
the effects of increasing dietary lysine and energy density on nursery-pig performance. Exp. 1 was organized as a combination of two simultaneous experiments, with one set of diets ...

Six experiments using a total of 2,974 nursery pigs were used to determine the effects of monosodium glutamate (MSG) and amino acids (AA) on nursery pig growth performance. Experiments 1 and 2 evaluated increasing dietary ...

One hundred ninety-two weanling pigs were fed diets containing 15 or 25% sunflower
oil seeds that were ground using a hammermill equipped with either a 1/8 or 3/16 in. screen. Average daily gain (ADG) of pigs fed the 25% ...

A 28-d growth assay was conducted to
determine the effect of phytase dosage and
source on growth performance of nursery pigs.
The nine experimental treatments were control
diets (0.13, 0.18, and 0.23% available
phosphorus) ...

One hundred eighty pigs (21 d of age and averaging 14.5 lb) were used to determine
if a milk replacer containing soybean protein isolate can replace dried skim milk and dried whey in a high nutrient density starter diet. ...

One hundred twelve weanling pigs were used to evaluate effects of diets containing 25%
raw or low or high roasted sunflower seeds on performance. Pigs fed meal and pelleted diets containing sunflower seeds roasted to a ...

The objective of this experiment was to determine if antibiotics used as feed additives and disease treatment for livestock affect duration of shedding and colonization of tissues with Salmonella typhimurium in pigs. No ...

In our first experiment, digestibilities for
DM, N, and GE were greater and F/G was better for pigs fed pelleted diets than for pigs fed meal diets. However, we observed no
advantages in ADG or F/G with long-term
conditioning. ...

A complex diet formulation resulted in greater digestibility of nutrients and a trend for greater ADG for d 0 to 14 of the experiment. However, for d 14 to 28 and overall (d o to 28), diet complexity did not affect growth ...

Four experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of added dietary Lcarnitine
on growth performance of nursery pigs. Pigs were fed a control diet containing no added L-carnitine or the control diet with 25, 50, 75, ...

A total of 168 weanling pigs (initially 13.8
lb and 21 ± 3 d of age, PIC) were used to determine the effects of different feed-grade antibiotics on nursery-pig performance. Pigs were fed one of four experimental diets: ...

A total of 482 pigs (initial BW of 21.9 lb)
were used in a 22-d study to determine the effects of dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) on growth performance of nursery pigs reared in a commercial environment. Pigs ...

In nursery pigs, enzyme supplementation generally had no effect on ADG or F/G, but a trend occurred for greater digestibility of DM in pigs fed enzymes. However, one notable interaction occurred. Enzyme supplementation
gave ...

As expected, ADG, ADFI, F/G, and digestibility of DM and N were improved in
nursery pigs when cone pressure was increased
during dry and moist expanding of whole soybeans. These response were quadratic for the most part, ...

Thirteen experiments using a total of 7,589 nursery and finishing pigs were conducted to evaluate the effects of deoxynivalenol (DON), feed additives and processing conditions on nursery pig growth performance. In addition, ...
